Google Wallet is, of course, Google’s attempt to get you to put all your credit cards on one chip, and use NFC (near-field communication) to pay for things instead of taking out a wallet and using a credit card, or paying cash. You know, because moving your arms twice is such a strain.

We’re hardly surprised that Verizon’s view of customer service is “take it and like it,” but their reasoning is a bit, uh, full of it, as they’re insisting Google Wallet needs some sort of magic technology the Galaxy Nexus phone doesn’t have, which is weird since it’s a phone built by…Google. That Verizon is working on their own “contactless payments” scheme is, of course, a total coincidence.
